Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. What Auspicious word does the Lord have for us today?
Let us meditate the word from the Bible, Isaiah 25:4 “For You have been strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat.
” How does the Lord help various people? This verse is given as a prophecy to indicate how the Lord comes and blesses the needs of each individual. The word of God firstly says, “You have been strength to the poor”. The poor indicates those who are below the poverty line, those who are struggling to meet their daily needs and those who are in need. Or despite having all the comforts of life, some are still in need of something. God says that He is their strength. The poor will say, “I don’t have support of powerful men, or of wealth, or authority”. But God promises that despite not having all these, He will be your strength. God addresses you today and says He is the strength to the poor. Isn’t it wonderful.
Secondly the word of God says strength to the needy in his distress. If anyone is pressurizing you, God will give you the strength and confidence to bear that pressure, opposition and will provide a way to overcome it. Today who is pressurizing you? Is it your creditor? Is it your colleague or friend? No matter who it is that is pressurizing you from one side. It might have spoilt your peace. Today God is your strength, and He will grant you the grace to overcome it all.
Thirdly the word of God says a refuge from the storm. A storm indicates the epitome of trials. When a storm comes, no one can stop it. When you encounter a storm, even if anyone wants to save you, they cannot save you or stop it. When such storms come into your life, God will come as your refuge in the midst of that storm. You might have heard people say, no one can save him in this issue only if God intervenes can he be saved. During such times, God will save you and will rescue you. Lastly the word of God says, a shade from the heat. Today you may say, I am exhausted, my life is a wilderness. I am totally vexed in life. Do not get discouraged. God will intervene and will do a miracle.
Like a man who knows the coolness of the shade during the hot sun, in the same way the heated arguments in your house, problems that are getting heated up, wilderness, everything God will change. Just like the coolness of a shade in a hot sun makes a person happy, the Lord will be with you and will guide you.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, we thank You. Thank You for this Auspicious word. In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, I place this blessing on the children who are reading this message. Lord you be their strength and in times of distress, a refuge from the storm. Be with them and guide them. In Jesus name we pray .
Amen.
